Ok went to add/remove programs and there's some programs that i never realised b4. Is it safe to delete these, i think they are but i better double check in case i stuff something up!

So what r these and where did they come from, do they relate to the errors i have been having, MSDD.exe at startup error and one called WNAD.exe that i get sometimes random, not often.

Do a google search to find info about them. Run Ad-aware http://www.webattack.com/get/adaware.shtml

Georges is right, they are all spyware downloaded with programs that you installed,get adaware from lavasoft.com,you probably have a lot more junk to delete than those three.If you have some P2P file sharing programs installed they may be dependent on those to work correctly.if this is the case then you should delete those spyware crazy programs,and get some spyware free software,just my opinion.

You should get rid of new.net and n-case N-Case removal instructions, be sur to go to page 2 for complete removal: Here is the N-Case site. New.Net can be a little trickier, go to add/remove programs and remove, and see if all is well. If not try this post from a new dot employee posted here. It's long and involved, anyway check it out: Here Get Adaware and run might be the easy way out Here. hth shep
